[Eh? Why don’t you continue? ]
[How would they know if you don't tell others about such an explosive thing? ]
[Oh, this General of the Qianwu Guards is really something. I haven't seen enough of him.]
The General of the Qianwu Guards remained silent.
Humph, you are knowledgeable and have broad opinions, so you speak!
[The Roma people do not intermarry with other ethnic groups, and it is not just marriage within the ethnic group, but marriage between parents, between parents and children, and between brothers and sisters. In short, it is unethical.]
【So when they heard last night that the prison provided food and accommodation, and that they didn’t have to work, the Roma were overjoyed and rushed to tell others, and in an instant they all crowded over.】
【But the essence of human beings is the reproduction of life, so they also carried out the great harmony of life in prison last night. 】
The old emperor's mouth twitched.
Oh, what Shen Zhiyi said is really implicit.
To restore the great harmony of life is simply uncivilized.
When the General of the Qianwu Guards heard Shen Zhiyi speak, he quickly said something perfunctorily, "In short, that's the matter."
The civil and military officials present had not seen this kind of ethnic group for a long time.
The Right Prime Minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, in the dynasties thousands of years ago, this phenomenon did exist in the surrounding ethnic groups and small countries, but now after being enlightened by the Chinese nation and through cultural integration, they have become wise. I, this old minister, suggest that these Roma people must be educated."
The Minister of Finance then said, "Your Majesty, the Roma are all foreigners. Why spend so much money just to civilize them? I suggest that you expel them from Daye's territory."
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel said: "I suggest that it is better to kill him."
All the civil and military officials present took a deep breath.
The corner of the right prime minister's mouth twitched fiercely. The young people nowadays are really violent and they are always ready to fight and kill.
"Minister of Personnel, is this too cruel?"
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel turned to look at the Right Prime Minister and explained, "I have some knowledge of this ethnic group."
"Oh, Yanchen, tell me what you think?" The old emperor sat up straight.
"There was someone who tried to educate this ethnic group. That person was a scholar from the south. He took in a group of Roma people and taught them how to farm and read. But unfortunately, the effect was minimal. When the scholar caught a cold, the group of Roma people looted his house and moved to another place to continue begging and stealing. It was like a real-life version of the farmer and the snake."
"Of course, these are not reasons for their death. May I ask if you colleagues are willing to accept the presence of such a group of people who violate ethics and moral principles in Daye?"
All the civil and military officials present shook their heads without hesitation.
Naturally it is unacceptable.
[There is really no need for education. This ethnic group reproduces quickly because their women are pregnant all their lives. Damn, it is the women who go out to steal and beg, while the men are left there crying for food. I tui. ]
Shen Zhiyi began to output there, and the old emperor began to expel the Roma.
But these people were only driven out from the vicinity of the capital city. It is unknown how many such people there are in the whole of Daye.
The old emperor simply issued an order and sent it down to the county level.
Those who refused to be expelled would be beheaded on the spot without any mercy.
[I seriously suspect that these two stingy guys came up with this idea just to save money.]
The Minister of Revenue and the new Minister of Personnel: How could that be? Everything they did was for Daye.
Because of the intervention of the imperial court, the ethnic group soon found that they could no longer survive in Daye and began to relocate on their own initiative, but this happened much later.

[On the 16th, at noon, the emperor had not had lunch yet, but he took the city gate guards to inspect the porridge distribution at the city gates. This shows that he was diligent in his work and loved the people, and he did not miss his meals.]
In just one short sentence, the word "rice" was written several times.
The old emperor reasonably suspected that Shen Zhiyi was accusing him of bringing people here without giving her lunch.
But he hasn't eaten either.
[I’m so hungry, so hungry, I’m really hungry. 】
Everyone present who could hear Shen Zhiyi's inner voice covered their ears.
I've never seen anyone sing so badly.
One by one, they looked at the old emperor begging for mercy.
The old emperor couldn’t stand the sight, in fact, he couldn’t stand Shen Zhiyi singing.
So he sent someone to bring a box lunch.
Yes, that’s right, Daye has boxed lunches!
It is packed in a food box, which has three layers in total, with different dishes on each layer, and there is one food box per person!
It was still warm when it was delivered to me.
When Shen Zhiyi saw the lunch box, his eyes lit up.
As a result, the old emperor's eyebrows jumped when he saw the lunch box.
[It's over, it's over. The old emperor will not take this away when he sees that the porridge is being distributed across the street while they are eating such high-end takeout here. But since they are here, it would be a waste if they don't eat it. ]
The old emperor had no choice but to hold back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Come on, come on, just take a couple of bites."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The few people who had not eaten expressed their gratitude to the old emperor and began to eat the rice in big mouthfuls.
The old emperor was not very hungry. Seeing that the number of people queuing not far away was obviously much smaller than yesterday, he felt very relieved.
He began to ask the city gate guard.
"How long have you been a city gate guard?"
"It has been five years since I returned to Your Majesty."
[It's not easy to be a gatekeeper for five years. 】
Gatekeeper: ...He is a sixth-rank official after all! Although, he has been in office for quite a long time, but he is not really required to guard this gate!
The old emperor suppressed his smile and continued, "Then I guess you are very familiar with these people who line up every time to wait for porridge and pancakes?"
“It’s natural!”
Chengmenlang puffed out his chest proudly.
He knew that this was a great opportunity.
"Your Majesty, in fact, after so many years of recuperation, the people no longer have to worry about food and clothing, but the Queen is kind-hearted, so this custom has been preserved. Some people come here when they have time to express their gratitude to the Queen and Your Majesty. In addition, the people who make this porridge and cakes have excellent skills, so I can't help but taste a few bites every time."
Shen Zhiyi’s eyes lit up.
[Excellent craftsmanship?]
【Can't help but take a few bites? 】
[Are you still here tonight? Oh, this old emperor always goes to bed so late, so I can't sneak in after work and take the opportunity to have a bite. ]
Everyone turned their heads stiffly and looked at Shen Zhiyi's food box which had been cleared long ago.
6
Old Emperor: It seems that this child is really hungry.
"Hey, is it so delicious? Bring some here so I can have a taste."
"All right, Your Majesty."
The hot pancakes dispelled a lot of the cold.
Shen Zhiyi sighed with satisfaction.
[It's really delicious. It's better to watch some TV while eating. ]
[It's the first time I've dealt with this city gatekeeper. Let me see if he has any good stuff. ]
Everyone present immediately turned their eyes to look at Chengmenlang.
It was a look that contained one part pity, seven parts expectation, and two parts gloating.
